Description

Bone-Fit is renowned physiotherapist Michelle Kenway’s fun series of exercises for osteoporosis prevention

Half of all women over the age of 60 fracture a bone at some point due to osteoporosis. The density of women’s bones starts to go down from about the age of 40, rapidly decreasing during menopause. This leaves you vulnerable to broken bones, which can then lead to spinal curvature, loss of mobility and eventual disability.

The following factors can mean that you have a higher risk of developing osteoporosis:

There are lots of healthy lifestyle choices you can make to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. These include eating a balanced diet with plenty of calcium, getting enough vitamin D from sun exposure and avoiding things like cigarettes. Exercise is an excellent way to increase the strength of your bones, in particular exercise where you need to support your own bodyweight such as running, tennis, dancing and walking.

These fun and easy bone strengthening exercises will reduce your risk of osteoporosis

You can ensure that you’re getting most potential out of your exercise routine by doing specific exercises to increase bone density. This osteoporosis exercises dvd features 37 minutes of exercises, devised and presented by renowned pelvic floor physiotherapist and fitness instructor Michelle Kenway.

These exercises are specially designed to have the following benefits:

Improving bone health, particularly of the hips, spine and wrists

Increasing muscle strength, especially in the legs, buttocks, back and upper body

Strengthening core muscles

Improving weight management for less strain on bones

Improving flexibility and balance to decrease the risk of falling

Yes This would be fine for you. The pelvic floor exercises are specific and gentle but incredibly effective. She focusses on exercises that maximise the strength to the pelvic floor, and also exercises that are safe for women with prolapse and hysterectomy. Michelle Kenway is a great ambassador for perfect pelvic health - she should be on prescription.
